get_svd_syn: Find Balancing weights by solving the dual optimization...

In ebenmichael/ents: Maximum Entropy Synthetic Controls

Description

Find Balancing weights by solving the dual optimization problem

Usage

get_svd_syn(outcomes, metadata, trt_unit = 1, r, unit_mean = F,
  outcome_col = NULL, cols = list(unit = "unit", time = "time", outcome =
  "outcome", treated = "treated"))

Arguments

outcomes	Tidy dataframe with the outcomes and meta data
metadata	Dataframe of metadata
trt_unit	Unit that is treated (target for regression), default: 0
r	Rank of matrix for SVD
unit_mean	Whether to take out the unit means
outcome_col	Column name which identifies outcomes, if NULL then assume only one outcome
cols	Column names corresponding to the units, time variable, outcome, and treated indicator

Value

outcomes with additional synthetic control added and weights
